Apparently Mr. Rogers, of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" died today at 74. I don't know how many of you grew up watching that show, as I did, but it's sad to see him go. He was a truly good person, by all accounts.

---

I remember how sad I was when he retired, because I absolutely loved the show as a kid, and it upset me that more kids won't get to grow up with it. I found out about this during a study hall today, and I was crushed. It's sad to see people like that go.

Though I don't know excatly what was the show about, it is surely lurking within my childhood memories, as the long parade of US shows that my country used to display (like "empty nest") surely is one of those odd events that did build my psyche to the insane persone that I am now.

Mr. Rogers, you have my respects.

I remember a more-recent Candid Camera skit -- it was at a media reviewer's convention at a hotel or something of the sort (if someone can supply or correct the details, please do). Fred Rogers happened to be there.

The trick was that reviewers were deprived of televisions in their hotel rooms, which they would need for (of course) reviewing. The skit organizers made up the excuse that they were short on televisions, and wouldn't be able to provide everyone at the hotel with one. Most reviewers were fuming. But, Mr. Rogers was completely accepting of it. They couldn't even nudge him toward any action like filing a complaint; the skit organizers eventually had to concede that they'd get no negative reaction from him, and just let him in on the secret.

I really enjoyed that example of patience. It seemed that an attempt to capture his true public demeanor only revealed that he was already showing it all this time.
